Muzychuk remains in first with an incredible 10.0/11!
Olga Girya, whom I confess I had not heard of before this tournament, remains ensconced in second place with 9.0/11 and continues to put unrelenting pressure on Muzychuk. Who is this young lady?
Padmini Rout, whom I have been following for a couple of years, remains firmly in third place with 8.5/11. This is a fabulous event for her, but I know she was going for the gold from Day 1 and may be disappointed in her result.
Who will be in fourth place - Melekhina with her win against near equal Anya Corke? Or Guramishvili with her victory behind black pieces against 100 ELO lower rated Anna Warakomska?
Muminova is fighting to the end. Her victory today gives her 7.5/11, just a half point behind whoever falls into 4th and 5th places.
Two more rounds to go. At this moment, the official website does not yet have the pairings up for R12.
